simplifying this piece of code right here using "for (i=0,i<numberOfArtists,i++) ;in order to make it dynamic by passing a variable for the amount of artists via XML.

I have an animation that has roll overs controlled by AS (see code below). It works the way I have the code, but it's really messy code. And I hate that I'm have the functions rewritten for each event.How can I simplify this code?
//On the main timeline
var gearsEnabled:Boolean = true;
var gears2Enabled:Boolean = true;

how can i simplify this code:

I think, for loop can be used but i don't know how
I have a test here which is for a more complex interaction, but the principle is the same. What I would like to know is how to make the code more efficient, possibly through array loops?
View 5 Repliesim a complete noob. how would i get this code into a simple 'for loop' to add 3 sprites named heart1, heart 2 and heart3. basically to simplify this mess
ActionScript Code:

beginFill(0xFF0000);
drawRect(0,0,20,10);

Been reading up on the flash transition object. I came up with this way of fading out one clip and fading in another and having them loop forever using the transition objects but it's very dirty coding and not very flexible.
Is there a way to clean it up so that I can add as many clips as I want without having to write more code, just by adding more movie clips to the stage?

i want to simplify the addition ie. any other way than saying txt1.text+txt2.text.....

There are 3 properties (example 1):
[Bindable] public var name:String;
[Bindable] public var email:Number;

[Bindable] public var name:String;

Last week I made a class to simplify rollOver and rollOut event of a button based on MovieClip with ENTER_FRAME event. It works well but I'm not quite sure this is the best class, since I'm new in AS3 Classes. Now, if you don't mind to take a glimpse of my class.

// Build the varLoader variablevar varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();varLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

I need to be able to use a function to change a variable outside of it, and it seems like global scope and the like went out with 2.0 and I need to use 3.0.I would just have the function return a value, but I'm using an 'addEventListener' which has the event and then the function inside.
Example:
Code:
var finished = false;
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
function done(evt:Event) {

How can variables be changed through a function when you can't set the scope or return a value through it?

I want to use the variable var_page3_title for dynamic text boxes in movie clips further on down the timeline. Of course I don't want to repeat this code for every textbox so my question is, how to I access the variables from the function loading();
I am new to AS3 and building a simple flash banner. There will be four movie clips consisting of just one word each (in the sample below I'm just using rectangle for now). When moused over each word will show a rectangle with a message in it, like a large tool tip. I have a rudimentary version working fine, see code below.
Question 1: Is there a way to just write on function which will work with all four buttons changing the message, say using variables like AS2?
Question 2: Does the code below look relatively efficient? I'm sure there are better ways to write it.Here's a link to the rudimentary version, http:[url]....
How do i pass variables in a function from swf to another swf?
View 4 RepliesI need to access the contents of a variable that is filled inside a function, but is declared outside the function.. [URL] says that if you declare the variable outside of the function the variable should be accessible even when its content is filled by a function. I have declared the imgs variable at the start, outside the function, as an array. After that the function retrieves a string from the URLLoader and splits that string into to the imgs array/variable.

Hello, I'm trying to minimize code, so I am trying to use functions, and need to pass some strings through them in order for it to work.I believe I may be doing this incorrectly, so could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? On one of my movieclips:
[code]...
What that previous code should do is loop through all movieclips in the game and if it's not named player, move it in accordance to what "Direction" is.If the player is pressing the arrow down key, it will change "Direction" to "DOWN" and hopefully pass it.

I want to use the variable var_page3_title for dynamic text boxes in movie clips further on down the timeline. Of course I don't want to repeat this code for every textbox so my question is, how to I access the variables from the function loading();
How one would go about switching 2 variables around. For example if I have
Code:
a = 5; b = 3;
Then use the switch function and get:
Code:
a = 3; b = 5;
Is there any such thing?

I'm pretty new to AS, I understand that whatever variables you have inside a function will be discarded once the function finishes? I need the value of a variable that's inside a function, I've tried declaring it outside the function, and also give it an initial value, but it seems that when the function finishes the variable goes back to it's original value.

I am trying to make the net Connection and net Stream object unique each time the function is called because I am trying to play like 5 flv's on stage simultaneously. As far as I know, each video stream needs a unique net Connection and a unique net Stream object. But it doesn't seem to be working.
I have 3 input fields, min:sec:frame (mval,sval,fval)
when it is triggered, it works fine the first time. I clear out the variables in the script below but it doesnt work properly. It comes back as not a number (NaN)

I'm making an animation of calculating a projectile motion with air resistance based on Python code from [URL]. I include the relevant portions of codes as follow. I'm not familiar of the vector object in AS3 so I translate them into variables as follow:
Actionscript Code:
//timer related variablesvar
fps:uint = stage.frameRate;var interval:Number = 1/fps;
var myTimerYes:Timer = new Timer(1000/fps);
//air resistance timermyTimerYes.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, startSimYes);
function startSimYes(e:TimerEvent):void{
[Code] .....
The timer activates when the user clicks the start button. The start buttons set the variables for the timer function. The variables are created at the start of the actionscript file. The code of the start button is:
Actionscript Code:
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goTimer);
function goTimer(e:MouseEvent):void{m = int(airText_mc.mass_txt.text);
A = int(airText_mc.refA_txt.text);
Cd = int(airText_mc.Cd_txt.text);
rho = int(airText_mc.density_txt.text);
[Code] .....
The result I get is the aX = 0 all the time, even after the update I specified in the timer codes. I can't understand what's wrong with the code, it's supposed to be updating every time the timer goes on.
I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem?
